The MAIN A section lies in the bottom right
section of the board. It gives you a channel
fader (light grey); a 13-LED master level meter
in the top right corner gives you a dynamic
visual gauge of overall output; a MUTE switch
(red) mutes all input channels except CD/TAPE
inputs; and a BAL control (black) adjusts the
mix of the left and right output signal before
they are routed through the MAIN A output.
Above, you’ll nd the MAIN B section, which
governs the signal sent through the MAIN B
outputs on the back panel. Use the MAIN B
section and outputs to connect to a separate
power amplier and multiple loudspeakers, or to
a stereo recording system.
Talking back, listening up
The XL series features a Talkback section in
the upper right corner with its own XLR input,
LEVEL control (red), and switches that allow you
to send its signal to either the MON, AUX, GROUP
or MAIN outputs.
Finally, a pair of headphone outputs at the top
of the board allows you to personally monitor
your mix, and a pair of BNC lamp outputs ensures
you’ll never have to mix in the dark.
The back story
The back panel of XL series mixers
features an intuitive patch bay that gives
you tons of exibility in conguring a live
show. In the upper left corner you’ll nd
the MAIN OUTPUTS section. There’s left
and right XLR outputs for connecting to
PA speakers, as well as dual ¼" inserts
for connecting a dynamics processor or
equalizer to further tweak the main signal.
There’s also dual OUT B jacks governed by
the MAIN B dial on front.
Next door to the MAIN OUTPUTS section
is the FX/MON/AUX SENDS section. The FX 1
and FX 2 ¼" outputs send signal to outboard
eects processors. MON 1 and MON 2 XLR
outputs send signal to monitors, and AUX
1 and AUX 2 XLR outputs can be used for
either eects processors or monitors.
The next section to the right
contains the AUX RETURNS. Stereo AUX
inputs 1 & 2 allow you to connect
more eectsprocessors or submixers,
while stereo FX 1 & 2 returns accept
processed signals sent from the FX 1 and
FX 2 outputs.
Left and right SPEAKER ¼" outputs
allow you to connect monitor speakers
that provide the same signal as the
headphone outputs.
Each subgroup has its own
INSERT and OUT ¼" jacks. The inserts
allow you to connect noise gates,
compressors or equalizers, while the
OUT jacks send the subgroup signal to,
for example, a multi-track recorder.
Along the bottom of the back
panel, you’ll nd the mono and stereo
channel inserts. Mono channels feature
both a ¼" and XLR input, as well as
an INSERT jack for applying outboard
equipment and a DIRECT OUT jack for
sending signal to a device such as a
multi-track recorder. Stereo channels feature
a single XLR input and dual ¼" inputs.
Take On The World
Not every town on the planet uses
the same voltage common in yours.
Unfortunately, this sometimes doesn’t
occur to jet-setting sound technicians
until they’re 5,000 miles from home. With
the XL series mixers, this is never an issue.
The internal autorange power supply can
run on anything from 100 to 240 V with
noise-free audio, top-quality transient
response and low power consumption.
